We will need help from @lleontan to create a UI that shows them relative to a box

Tasks:

Research sensors and determine how to convert voltage to distance (remember there are two types of sensors we're using)
Create a simple program to take voltage from 4 of these sensors, convert the voltage to feet, and send them to smartdashboard

SmartDashboard stuff: http://robotpy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/wpilib/SmartDashboard.html

wpilib.SmartDashboard.putNumber('name', value)

FYI: Your equations didn't work properly.

lleontan commented 9 years ago

I'll get on it tommorow.

Let me try this again 22.73x^-0.7533 for the larger sensor 7.330x^-0.7685 for the smaller one where X is the distance in cm The equations were right, my code was just terrible
